Signal FCC opens comment period on WAC-approved recommendations

Summary

The US Federal Communications Commission's Office of International Affairs issued a notice opening a comment period on recommendations approved by the World Radiocommunication Conference Advisory Committee, known as WAC. The committee had prepared draft recommendations on issues to be taken up at the 2027 World Radiocommunication Conference and forwarded them for the Commission's consideration. After an initial review coordinated with other Commission offices, the International Affairs office tentatively concluded it can generally support most of the draft content and is now seeking public comment on it. The notice also invites comment on a separate set of draft proposals submitted by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. Comments gathered through this process will feed into the FCC's upcoming consultations with the State Department and NTIA as they develop official US positions for the 2027 conference. The specific substance of the recommendations was not detailed in the material available.
